First There Was Nancy

Then there was Rosie who wanted yours truly
NOT TO PULL MY ZIPPER DOWN!
stuck in the front seat of
my father's Chevy after the prom

and Susan I took to the movies
whose popcorn I had to hold onto
with both hands just as a Godzilla
stepped on a house in Tokyo
when she said she was going to college
to major in zoology.

Forget about Susan.

Did I mention Genevieve? Mon Dieu!
that cute little foreign student,
who has a certain Je ne sais quoi
and wears a little white silk blouse
that's always unbuttoned on top

who's cuter than Nancy, Rosie, or Susan
hands down, mon ami, hands down.
